Although yesterday's news gave the impression that Pokémon Go's development could be delayed, today's news could tell exactly the opposite.

The Pokémon Company and Niantic Labs started a sign-up process for the people who wish to take part on the Pokémon Go "field tests", a kind of beta testing to collect data and improve the game before it's official release.

“The Pokémon Company and Niantic will be inviting users to field test Pokémon GO in Japan later this month. The Pokémon GO field test program will give users the opportunity to share early feedback and help improve the Pokémon GO experience. Please stay tuned for information about expansion of the field test to other markets.”, is what the Niantic Labs team said.
